Steampunk Asian Zodiac 2015 Calendar

I completed the Steampunk Asian Zodiac 2015 Calendar and I have a limited number on hand after shipping out the Kickstarter rewards. Closed, the calender is 8.5x10.5 inches. Open, the calendar is 10.5x17 inches. It's $18 with USA domestic shipping and $38 for international shipping respectively. I've posted some of the illustrations below, but check out the link here to see all the art from the calendar. Email me at kl at karenluk dot net, if you're interested.

Nanomango challenge comic

I've been posting comic layouts for the one-comic-a-day challenge for November, known as Nanomango. Here are the four pages from a single story - Not All Monsters. I'll do another post with the second story later.

Holiday Boutiques

I'm doing two holiday boutiques this month. The first one is November 1st and 2nd at Santa Teresa High School in San Jose, CA. Check out the flyer below for more information.

The second one is in Fremont, CA at the Nile's Veteran Hall and is sponsored by a local Girl Scout Troop. That's happening on November 29th. More details to follow later.

My portfolio site is undergoing maintenance/upgrade, so certain pages like the Shop are not available right now. Apologies for the inconvenience!
